sounds like a camponotus Novaboracensis ant. (that was awful spelling but if you copy and paste into google it will correct :lol: .
But there is really no way to identify without pics and measurements.
Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

I'm pretty sure the cheap ant nest I bought from wish killed my queen....it wasn't the gel cuz I cleaned that out...I noticed the water feeding area was leaking into the nesting area that's probably why she abandoned the nest and just hung around the out world....sad day...well good thing I found 4 more queens! There all in test tube setups and one of them already laid eggs!!!

Pretty sure I found two more queens but these arnt large ants these are small black ants I think there the little sugar ants...I'm pretty sure there queens one has wings and the other looks like it just lost there's.
I'm super excited I was really hoping to find little ants :)

Since I had a bad experience with that cheap ant farm I will spend the money and get a good nest for my camponotus I already have one picked out :) now I need to identify these little ones and shop for a habitat for them as well :)
